flush/clean/invalidate _dcache_range() functions are all very
similar and are quite short. They are mainly used in __dma_sync()
perf_event locate them in the top 3 consumming functions during
heavy ethernet activity
They are good candidate for inlining, as __dma_sync() does
almost nothing but calling them

clear_pages() is never used expect by clear_page, and PPC32 is the
only architecture (still) having this function. Neither PPC64 nor
any other architecture has it.
This patch removes clear_pages() and moves clear_page() function

On a live running system (VoIP gateway for Air Trafic Control), over
a 10 minutes period (with 277s idle), we get 87 millions DTLB misses
and approximatly 35 secondes are spent in DTLB handler.
This represents 5.8% of the overall time and even 10.8% of the
non-idle time.
Among those 87 millions DTLB misses, 15% are on user addresses and
85% are on kernel addresses. And within the kernel addresses, 93%
are on addresses from the linear address space and only 7% are on
addresses from the virtual address space.
MPC8xx has no BATs but it has 8Mb page size. This patch implements
mapping of kernel RAM using 8Mb pages, on the same model as what is
done on the 40x.
In 4k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 4Mb area: we map every two
entries to the same 8Mb physical page. In each second entry, we add
4Mb to the page physical address to ease life of the FixupDAR
routine. This is just ignored by HW.
In 16k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 64Mb area: each PGD entry
will point to the first page of the area. The DTLB handler adds
the 3 bits from EPN to map the correct page.
With this patch applied, we now get only 13 millions TLB misses
during the 10 minutes period. The idle time has increased to 313s
and the overall time spent in DTLB miss handler is 6.3s, which
represents 1% of the overall time and 2.2% of non-idle time.

We are spending between 40 and 160 cycles with a mean of 65 cycles in
the DTLB handling routine (measured with mftbl) so make it more
simple althought it adds one instruction.
With this modification, we get three registers available at all time,
which will help with following patch.

Various e500 core have different cache architecture, so they
need different cache flush operations. Therefore, add a callback
function cpu_flush_caches to the struct cpu_spec. The cache flush
operation for the specific kind of e500 is selected at init time.
The callback function will flush all caches inside the current cpu.

This prepares for the decoupling of saving {fpu,altivec,vsx} registers and
marking {fpu,altivec,vsx} as being unused by a thread.
Currently giveup_{fpu,altivec,vsx}() does both however optimisations to
task switching can be made if these two operations are decoupled.
save_all() will permit the saving of registers to thread structs and leave
threads MSR with bits enabled.
This patch introduces no functional change.

Currently the FPU, VEC and VSX facilities are lazily loaded. This is not
a problem unless a process is using these facilities.
Modern versions of GCC are very good at automatically vectorising code,
new and modernised workloads make use of floating point and vector
facilities, even the kernel makes use of vectorised memcpy.
All this combined greatly increases the cost of a syscall since the
kernel uses the facilities sometimes even in syscall fast-path making it
increasingly common for a thread to take an *_unavailable exception soon
after a syscall, not to mention potentially taking all three.
The obvious overcompensation to this problem is to simply always load
all the facilities on every exit to userspace. Loading up all FPU, VEC
and VSX registers every time can be expensive and if a workload does
avoid using them, it should not be forced to incur this penalty.
An 8bit counter is used to detect if the registers have been used in the
past and the registers are always loaded until the value wraps to back
to zero.
Several versions of the assembly in entry_64.S were tested:
1. Always calling C.
2. Performing a common case check and then calling C.
3. A complex check in asm.
After some benchmarking it was determined that avoiding C in the common
case is a performance benefit (option 2). The full check in asm (option
3) greatly complicated that codepath for a negligible performance gain
and the trade-off was deemed not worth it.

fixup

Currently when threads get scheduled off they always giveup the FPU,
Altivec (VMX) and Vector (VSX) units if they were using them. When they are
scheduled back on a fault is then taken to enable each facility and load
registers. As a result explicitly disabling FPU/VMX/VSX has not been
necessary.
Future changes and optimisations remove this mandatory giveup and fault
which could cause calls such as clone() and fork() to copy threads and run
them later with FPU/VMX/VSX enabled but no registers loaded.
This patch starts the process of having MSR_{FP,VEC,VSX} mean that a
threads registers are hot while not having MSR_{FP,VEC,VSX} means that the
registers must be loaded. This allows for a smarter return to userspace.

During error recovery, the device could be removed as part of the
partial hotplug. The criterion used to come with partial hotplug
is: if the device driver provides error_detected(), slot_reset()
and resume() callbacks, it's immune from hotplug. Otherwise,
it's going to experience partial hotplug during EEH recovery. But
the criterion isn't correct enough: mlx4_core driver for Mellanox
adapters provides error_detected(), slot_reset() callbacks, but
resume() isn't there. Those Mellanox adapters won't be to involved
in the partial hotplug.
This fixes the criterion to a practical one: adpater with driver
that provides error_detected(), slot_reset() will be immune from
partial hotplug. resume() isn't mandatory.

When PE is created, its primary bus is cached to pe->bus. At later
point, the cached primary bus is returned from eeh_pe_bus_get().
However, we could get stale cached primary bus and run into kernel
crash in one case: full hotplug as part of fenced PHB error recovery
releases all PCI busses under the PHB at unplugging time and recreate
them at plugging time. pe->bus is still dereferencing the PCI bus
that was released.
This adds another PE flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) to represent the validity
of pe->bus. pe->bus is updated when its first child EEH device is
online and the flag is set. Before unplugging in full hotplug for
error recovery, the flag is cleared.

Since binutils 2.26 BFD is doing suffix merging on STRTAB sections. But
dedotify modifies the symbol names in place, which can also modify
unrelated symbols with a name that matches a suffix of a dotted name. To
remove the leading dot of a symbol name we can just increment the pointer
into the STRTAB section instead.
Backport to all stables to avoid breakage when people update their
binutils - mpe.

In eeh_pe_loc_get(), the PE location code is retrieved from the
"ibm,loc-code" property of the device node for the bridge of the

PowerPC64 uses the symbol .TOC. much as other targets use
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. It identifies the value of the GOT pointer (or in
powerpc parlance, the TOC pointer). Global offset tables are generally
local to an executable or shared library, or in the kernel, module. Thus
it does not make sense for a module to resolve a relocation against
.TOC. to the kernel's .TOC. value. A module has its own .TOC., and
indeed the powerpc64 module relocation processing ignores the kernel
value of .TOC. and instead calculates a module-local value.
This patch removes code involved in exporting the kernel .TOC., tweaks
modpost to ignore an undefined .TOC., and the module loader to twiddle
the section symbol so that .TOC. isn't seen as undefined.
Note that if the kernel was compiled with -msingle-pic-base then ELFv2
would not have function global entry code setting up r2. In that case
the module call stubs would need to be modified to set up r2 using the
kernel .TOC. value, requiring some of this code to be reinstated.
mpe: Furthermore a change in binutils master (not yet released) causes
the current way we handle the TOC to no longer work when building with
MODVERSIONS=y and RELOCATABLE=n. The symptom is that modules can not be
loaded due to there being no version found for TOC.

The four cpumasks cpu_{possible,online,present,active}_bits are exposed
readonly via the corresponding const variables cpu_xyz_mask. But they are
also accessible for arbitrary writing via the exposed functions
set_cpu_xyz. There's quite a bit of code throughout the kernel which
iterates over or otherwise accesses these bitmaps, and having the access
go via the cpu_xyz_mask variables is nowadays [1] simply a useless
indirection.
It may be that any problem in CS can be solved by an extra level of
indirection, but that doesn't mean every extra indirection solves a
problem. In this case, it even necessitates some minor ugliness (see
4/6).
Patch 1/6 is new in v2, and fixes a build failure on ppc by renaming a
struct member, to avoid problems when the identifier cpu_online_mask
becomes a macro later in the series. The next four patches eliminate the
cpu_xyz_mask variables by simply exposing the actual bitmaps, after
renaming them to discourage direct access - that still happens through
cpu_xyz_mask, which are now simply macros with the same type and value as
they used to have.
After that, there's no longer any reason to have the setter functions be
out-of-line: The boolean parameter is almost always a literal true or
false, so by making them static inlines they will usually compile to one
or two instructions.
For a defconfig build on x86_64, bloat-o-meter says we save ~3000 bytes.
We also save a little stack (stackdelta says 127 functions have a 16 byte
smaller stack frame, while two grow by that amount). Mostly because, when
iterating over the mask, gcc typically loads the value of cpu_xyz_mask
into a callee-saved register and from there into %rdi before each
find_next_bit call - now it can just load the appropriate immediate
address into %rdi before each call.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2047078/focus=2047722 for
some historic context.
This patch (of 6):
As preparation for eliminating the indirect access to the various global
cpu_*_bits bitmaps via the pointer variables cpu_*_mask, rename the
cpu_online_mask member of struct fadump_crash_info_header to simply
online_mask, thus allowing cpu_online_mask to become a macro.

GCC 6 will include changes to generated code with -mcmodel=large,
which is used to build kernel modules on powerpc64le. This was
necessary because the large model is supposed to allow arbitrary
sizes and locations of the code and data sections, but the ELFv2
global entry point prolog still made the unconditional assumption
that the TOC associated with any particular function can be found
within 2 GB of the function entry point:
func:
addis r2,r12,(.TOC.-func)@ha
addi r2,r2,(.TOC.-func)@l
.localentry func, .-func
To remove this assumption, GCC will now generate instead this global
entry point prolog sequence when using -mcmodel=large:
.quad .TOC.-func
func:
.reloc ., R_PPC64_ENTRY
ld r2, -8(r12)
add r2, r2, r12
.localentry func, .-func
The new .reloc triggers an optimization in the linker that will
replace this new prolog with the original code (see above) if the
linker determines that the distance between .TOC. and func is in
range after all.
Since this new relocation is now present in module object files,
the kernel module loader is required to handle them too. This
patch adds support for the new relocation and implements the
same optimization done by the GNU linker.

It has come to my attention that kprobe event stack tracing does not
work on powerpc. You can see with the following:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo stacktrace > trace_options
# echo 'p kfree' > kprobe_events
# echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable
Will print the following warning:
save_stack_trace_regs() not implemented yet.
Although save_stack_trace() (which normal event stack traces use) is
implemented, save_stack_trace_regs() which kprobe events use is not.
This is a cheap attempt to implement that function.
Note, This may have issues if a task tries to get a stack trace from
another task with its regs, because it just passes in "current" to
save_context_stack(). But this does solve the issue with stack tracing
kprobe events.

Currently we copy the whole mm_context_t to the paca but only access a
few bits of it. This is wasteful of space paca and also takes quite
some time in the hot path of context switching.
This patch pulls in only the required bits from the mm_context_t to
the paca and on context switch, copies only those.
Benchmarking this (On top of Anton's recent MSR context switching
changes [1]) using processes and yield shows an improvement of almost
3% on POWER8:

./context_switch2 --test=yield --process 0 0

This adds a function to copy the mm->context to the paca. This is
only a basic conversion for now but will be used more extensively in
the next patch.
This also adds #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S around this code since it's
not used elsewhere.

PPC476FPE has a different PVR from previous PPC476 processors. The
kexec code checks the PVR in order to correctly setup the MMU. When
the initial support for 476FPE processors was added the corresponding
change in the kexec code was missed. This patch simply adds the check
and solves the following bug on kexec:

The STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro takes both a vector number, and a
location (memory address). However both are always identical, so combine
them to save repeating ourselves.
This does mean an exception handler must always exist at the location in
memory that matches its vector number. But that's OK because this is the
"STD" macro (standard), which does exactly that. We have other macros
for the other cases, eg. STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES_OOL (out of line).

HMT_MEDIUM_LOW_HAS_PPR is only used in once place, open code it.
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
|

HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is a macro which is present at the start of most
of our first level exception handlers. It conditionally executes a
HMT_MEDIUM instruction, which sets the processor priority to medium.
On on modern systems, ie. Power7 and later, it is nop'ed out at boot.
All it does is make the exception vectors more cramped, and consume 4
bytes of icache.
On old systems it has the effect of boosting the processor priority at
the start of exception processing. If we were previously in the idle
loop for example, we may be at low or very low priority. This is
desirable as we want to process the exception as fast as possible.
However looking closely at the generated code, we see that in all cases
we execute another HMT_MEDIUM just four instructions later. With code
patching applied, the final code on an old (Power6) system will look
like, eg:
c000000000000300 <data_access_pSeries>:
c000000000000300: 7c 42 13 78 mr r2,r2 <-
c000000000000304: 7d b2 43 a6 mtsprg 2,r13
c000000000000308: 7d b1 42 a6 mfsprg r13,1
c00000000000030c: f9 2d 00 80 std r9,128(r13)
c000000000000310: 60 00 00 00 nop
c000000000000314: 7c 42 13 78 mr r2,r2 <-
So I suggest that the added code complexity of HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is
not justified by the benefit of boosting the processor priority for the
duration of four instructions, and therefore we drop it.
